We have made VRC-21HA using 5BNC, what in fact works ! Simply remove
back cover, open the connector plate and throw in two new BNC connectors
at the desired place. I don't remember, if there should be some wired
bridges as well, but one 'll see that ( as we saw this not very familiar
with video signalling :) In fact the monitor is a SONY GDM-21 something
which may be used this way as well. I've put this thing onto a PC with a
Matrox somesort an fiddeled a little bit with the modeline of Linux -
but it works fine and is a nice picture - 19"@1280x1024. The only thing
is, that I didn't find a way to set up the Matrox to use this setting
right from switching on the Linux box. So until X has started (which is
the default run level - SuSE - I thing run level 5) nothing may be read
- only some color strings flashing over the screen. But standard VGA
does have a low sync rate which doesn't hurt the monitor. Well, the
monitor does not sync. In case there will be some odd things to the
Linux box I'll have a 15" monitor around to connect to the video port
and see, what happens. But for now this setting works for about 8 months
or so.
